STS Youth Camp and Schwob Summer Music Festival option
This year offers us a unique opportunity with the STS and the Schwob Summer Music Festival running back to back. We are offering the option for students to attend the STS Youth Camp and stay with us through the Schwob Summer Music Festival at a deeply-discounted rate. There will be a seamless transition between the STS Youth Camp and SSMF, and while the experiences will be very different, one will complement the other extremely well. Students attending the SSMF will have the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Palmer and the other Schwob School of Music faculty. Audition Information STS Youth Campers will record an audition consisting of two contrasting etudes or two contrasting solo movements.
